Controversy at the CDC: Is the Agency Really Trusted by the People?

from Roots of Today

At its best, the CDC is a scientific bulwark against disease. At its worst, it becomes an institution caught between science, politics, and profit. The question for us is whether the CDC can navigate these pressures and keep public trust — or whether the forces of politics and perception will continue to erode its authority. RFK Jr. appears to be on a mission to erect a firewall between regulatory responsibilities and the corporate profit motive. Time will tell if his efforts are beneficial, or if they damage the organization.Music by: Andrii Poradovskyi (lNPLUSMUSIC - Pixabay)Show Notes: www.rootsoftoday.blog
